Toto – Bottom of your soul

Where are the children we lost not long ago
Feel for the mothers who weep for them
I pray for the fathers who are standing by their side
In their world of pain and suffering

Have you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes
They can't eat money or promises
Give them your smile and try holding out your hand
Let them know you're there, let them know you're there

Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul

You can swim in a river of tears they cry
For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty
Show us a sign and make us believe again
There's no other way, oh, there's no other way

Taint your world

Screaming at the sun I t have spilled a little moonshine on my head
Didn't have to run, but there was no one left behind 'cept for the dead

I didn't see it comin', but that rummy-stilted crackpot knew my game
Left my head a'hummin', like a ball peen hammer drives a nail to shame

I suggest you listen up to what I have to say
Witnessed many crooked things, I smell your DNA
Stab me, take me down, you know you'll never get your way

Taint your world
You're so far away from where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Cause you don't want to fuck with me

Didn't anybody get the cipher from the flying rat machine
Gnarly, little, scrunched up, tiny fingers, and its disposition mean

Anybody out of line will soon be on the list
My back's against the wall and yet I know I must resist
Time to tell the truth, I think somebody's gettin' pissed

Taint your world
You're not even close to where you think you need to be
Taint your world
You got another guess comin' if you think you're foolin' me

Taint your world
So far away from where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Where I belong just like an oyster and a pearl
Taint your world
You're not even close to where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Taint your world

Toto – Palamazda Falling in Between tour

Steve Lukather - Toto - Falling in Between TourIeri sera sono stato a Milano al Mazdapalace a vedere il concerto dei Toto. Faccio una premessa: da vero ignorante musicale (nel senso che ascolto di tutto e di più, ma non so molto di storia della musica) non conoscevo questo gruppo, se non il chitarrista (Steve Lukather) per la fama. Mi ricordo ancora quando il Mose mi telefonò per chiedermi se volevo il biglietto "eeh scusa chi hai detto che suona?". Questo succedeva circa a inizio Gennaio, per cui ho avuto tempo per farmi una minima cultura e ascoltare l'ultimo CD (Falling in Between) e la Greatest Hits. Non ho certo i mezzi per commentare un simile evento, ma vi posso dire che è stato sicuramente un gran concerto, probabilmente uno dei più belli che ho visto
